And so it ends...

The first 4 expeditions of the season onboard M/S Stockholm. Immensely successful trips, with happy guests and happy charters.

Beautiful snowy landscapes, soft light, pack ice, and plenty of incredible wildlife sightings.

Coastal Norway, Bear Island, and lots of snowy early season Svalbard.

My favorite time to be up here in the far arctic north.

The kingdom of ice and bears.

Note: all wildlife shot with a telephoto lens, at respectful distances, showing respect for nature.

Arctic spring at its very finest

Manda Lundström from the PolarQuest office joined one of our early season expeditions as a guide. Here are a few highlights capturing both the essence of this icy season in Svalbard and the warm, welcoming atmosphere on board our beloved M/S Quest.

Arktiska våren när den är som bäst

Manda Lundström från PolarQuests kontor följde med som guide på en av säsongens första expeditioner. Här är några höjdpunkter som fångar både känslan av denna isiga årstid på Svalbard och den varma, välkomnande atmosfären ombord på vårt omtyckta fartyg M/S Quest.

The Greenland season is approaching, and we look forward to expeditions along both the west and east coasts on board our small and welcoming ship M/S Balto.

In the meantime, we enjoy watching her glide through the ice-filled fjords.



Grönlandssäsongen närmar sig, och vi ser fram emot expeditioner längs både väst- och östkusten ombord på vårt lilla, hemtrevliga fartyg.

Under tiden njuter vi av att se henne glida fram genom de isfyllda fjordarna.

As per the plan, we headed north from Longyearbyen once again.

Calm weather, and a beautiful sunset.

We cruised through the fjords in the north-west corner, and headed back into the Hinlopen Strait.

We spent time in the pack ice to the far north of Svalbard, scouting for wildlife.

We landed on snow-covered beaches, hiking up snowy scree slopes in search of motif’s.

With walrus, seals, seabirds, polar bears, and curious reindeer sightings under our belt, we headed back towards civilization.

A relaxed minke whale giving one last parting goodbye as we sailed south towards Longyearbyen.

Soft light, abundance of wildlife, and snow-covered landscapes.

Early season at its finest.

Note: all wildlife photographed with a telephoto lens, at respectful distances, maintaining respect for nature.

Lite pics från en helt underbar resa. Ibland måste jag nypa mig i armen över de fantastiska möjligheterna mitt jobb ger mig. Tack PolarQuest och SvD accent resor för förtroendet att laga mat uppe i norr.

People are what truly make the difference 💙

You can have the best product in the world, but without the right people behind it, none of it matters.

M/S Quest is often praised by our guests for her cheerful, thoughtful, and professional crew members — the people who create the atmosphere on board and make every expedition special.

Last week, M/S Quest arrived in Svalbard after her crossing from Tromsø, and in Longyearbyen she welcomed the first guests of the season on board.

Now, an exciting spring and summer season awaits as we continue exploring the Arctic on board our comfortable 50-passenger expedition ship.
